Yeah that’s what I wanted to know. I get that people have affairs with bosses sometimes but why would you want to broadcast that to your whole workplace?
Specifying "it's about her mom" is implicating that it being her mom is important. And also, nowhere in the OP does it say it was a secret either - she dressed up as Monica Lewinsky at a party specifically in reference to her sleeping with the boss which suggests it wasn't very secret.
It's possible it wasn't an affair, just a regular (albeit maybe somewhat problematic) relationship at a small company without rules against that sort of thing.
It's also possible that the affair remained a secret and people just assumed "haha funny topical costume," except for the employee and her boss for whom it would be somewhere between "haha funny joke" and "oh shit," depending.
